The film, in the vein of Amelie and (500) Days of Summer, will reportedly star Chris Evans (Captain America: The First Avenger) and Michelle Monaghan (Source Code). A Many Splintered Thing centers on a young man, burned by past lovers, who falls for a socialite while pretending to be a philanthropist at a charitable dinner. Too bad her fiance doesn't appreciate her going on dates. But, of course, that isn't going to stop a man like Evans, who fakes a platonic relationship to get closer to her.

According to a report at The Latino Review, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre has been cast as super villain Batroc the Leaper, in the sequel to the 2011 Hollywood hit, Captain America: The First Avenger.

According to Wikipedia, Batroc is a French costumed mercenary who specializes in savate (also known as "La Boxe Franaise"), a form of kickboxing. Although he has primarily appeared in the pages of Captain America, he has also faced off against the Punisher, Spider-Man, Deadpool, Hawkeye, Iron Fist, and Gambit. Batroc has occasionally led his own team, "Batroc's Brigade", whose membership has changed over time. The group has primarily fought Captain America.

"Captain America: The Winter Solider" is scheduled to hit theatres in the summer of 2014.

This is not GSP's first acting role — according to the Internet Movie Database, he has appeared in three filmes, the latest of which was called "Death Warrior," and his character was called :Shaman."
